Hinduism is a religion based mainly in India. It's followers are part of a caste system. A caste system is like a hierarchy from which you cannot change. If you were born a peasant then you will stay a peasant.
According to Hinduism your life must be devoted to good. If, for some reason, you do not fulfill what is required to reach Nirvana (the state of peace after reincarnation) then you will be reincarnated into some other form of life, be it human or animal. This state of reincarnation goes on and on until in one of your lives you are deemed good enough for Nirvana.

Oldest religion. Based on reincarnation based on karma. If you are bad, you will reincarnate as something bad. Same with being good. But if you are perfect, you go to the top of the universe.

Look at those pictures of the gods! You can't HONESTLY tell me Hinduism wasn't inspired by some illegal substance!

A man made religion (like all religions).In fact there is no such thing as "Hinduism", and never has been.The word "hindu" occurs nowhere in the sacred Veda or any Advaita Vedanta scripture like the Upanishads and Bhagvad Gita.
South Asia (Indian sub-continent) has so many different religions, philosophies and spiritual/mystical traditions that it is sheer idiocy to place all these (often opposing) ideologies under one blanket term "Hinduism".The word "hindu" is a non-Indian word, it's origin is Persian/Arabic.It's original meaning is "dog" "low life" or "slave".That is what Muslim invaders called the people of India, because they saw them as low life.
Stupid how people still call themselves "hindu", not realising that it is originally a derogatory word.People just love living in ignorance....

Hindu: Im so hungry because the rats ate all the crops but I can't kill them becuase one might be grandpa, and there are some cows over there eating more food but i cant eat them because one might be grandma.
